Allow for platform movement, electrical line sway or
sag and beware of strong or gusty winds.
Keep away from the machine if it contacts
energizedpowerlines. Personnelonthegroundor
in the platform must not touch or operate the
machine until energized power lines are shut off.
Do not use the machine as a ground for welding
unless the machine is equipped with the weld line
to platform option and it is properly connected.
Tip-over Hazards
Occupants and equipment shall not exceed the
maximum platform capacity.
Maximum platform capacity 500 lbs 227 kg
Maximum occupants 2
Do not raise or extend the boom unless the
machine is on a firm, level surface.
Do not depend on the tilt alarm as a level indicator.
The tilt alarm sounds in the platform only when the
machine is on a severe slope.

Operator's ManualFirst Edition · Fifth Printing
If the tilt alarm sounds:
Do not extend, rotate or raise the boom above
horizontal. Move the machine to a firm, level
surface before raising the platform. If the tilt alarm
sounds when the platform is raised, use extreme
caution to retract the boom and lower the platform.
Donot rotate theboom while lowering.Move the
machine to a firm, level surface before raising the
platform.
Do not use the platform controls to free a platform
that is caught, snagged or otherwise prevented
from normal motion by an adjacent structure. All
personnel must be removed from the platform
before attempting to free the platform using the
ground controls.
Do not operate the machine in strong or gusty
winds. Do not increase the surface area of the
platform or the load. Increasing the area exposed
to the wind will decrease machine stability.
Use extreme care and slow speeds while driving
the machine in the stowed position across uneven
terrain,debris, unstableor slippery surfaces and
nearholesanddrop-offs.

Fundamentals
It is the responsibility of the operator to perform a
pre-operationinspectionandroutinemaintenance.
Thepre-operation inspection is a visualinspection
performed by the operator prior to each work shift.
The inspection is designed to discover if anything
isapparently wrongwitha machinebefore the

in this manual may be performed by the operator.
Refer to the list on the next page and check each
of the items and locations for modifications,
damage or loose or missing parts.
A damaged or modified machine must never be
used. If damage or any variation from factory
deliveredcondition is discovered,the machine
must be tagged and removed from service.
Repairs to the machine may only be made by a
qualified service technician, according to the

1 Be sure that the engine is off and the boom is in
thestowed position.
2 Visually inspect the sight gauge located on the
side of the hydraulic oil tank.
Result: The hydraulic oil level should be within
the top 2 inches / 5 cm of the sight gauge.

Function Tests
Fundamentals
The function tests are designed to discover any
malfunctions before the machine is put into
service. The operator must follow the step-by-step
instructions to test all machine functions.
A malfunctioning machine must never be used. If
malfunctions are discovered, the machine must be
tagged and removed from service. Repairs to the
machine may only be made by a qualified service
technician, according to the manufacturer's
specifications.
After repairs are completed, the operator must
perform a pre-operation inspection and function
tests again before putting the machine into service.
